Saif Ali Khan remembers early days of dating Kareena Kapoor Khan: ‘I was a bit jealous…’

Saif Ali Khan opens up about his relationship with Kareena Kapoor Khan and how advice from Rani Mukerji helped in the beginning

Many years ago, on Kareena Kapoor Khan’s chat show, her actor husband Saif Ali Khan made a big revelation about the time they began dating. Saif revealed a piece of advice that his beloved co-star Rani Mukerji gave him when he got into a relationship with Bebo — “Just behave like you are in a relationship with a man.” After dating for 5 long years, Saif and Kareena got married in 2012. The happily married couple, and parents to sons Taimur Ali Khan and Jehangir Ali Khan, celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary. So did Rani’s advice work?

Sharing how the advice does not apply to his wife Kareena Kapoor all the time, in a chat with Hollywood Reporter India, Saif Ali Khan explained, “She (Kareena) truly is an incredible, incredible woman and I’m so lucky to be with her because she is one of the most patient and loving people I’ve met and she’s just absolutely wonderful. I could go on and on, I could give you examples, but I mean, you know, it’s a bit much, it’s a bit mushy (blushing).” Talking about Rani Mukerji’s advice, Saif shared, “So Rani was saying don’t think of it in a chauvinistic way. That’s not my idea of a relationship anyway. But she meant really well. I was working a lot with Rani in those days and she loves Kareena. And it was good advice. She was trying to help me. Because maybe, in the start of it, I wasn’t as easy about sharing it.”
